crystal-dawn - Hello Poetry

I was reminded today how quickly things can change One day there is sunshine and then came the rain The sunshine was nice, beautiful and warm But with the morning came a dark, wet, cold storm I thought of how in life it's often the same joy in one season And in some seasons pain But as I thought of the sun but gazed at the storm I thought it was just as beautiful as the warm day before The cold hurt a little and I had to layer up but the view before me hadn't changed that much In life it's the same, storms bring cold air We have to layer up not with clothes but with prayer No matter the season life is beautiful still No matter the hurt or pain we might feel We should always lean on Jesus he is our shelter from the storm And remember his love for us will always keep up warm So when clouds roll in and you find yourself in fear Layer up and know that HE is near. - Crystal Sacco 4/26/15 Written after spending a weekend at my in laws cabin in Colorado. Saturday was beautiful sunny and warm all day. And Sunday morning came and it was very cold and snowed/rained all day! Both days were BEAUTIFUL! :)

How quickly things can change....

I was reminded today how quickly things can change One day there is sunshine and then came the rain The sunshine was nice, beautiful and warm But with the morning came a dark, wet, cold storm I thought of how in life it's often the same joy in one season And in some seasons pain But as I thought of the sun but gazed at the storm I thought it was just as beautiful as the warm day before The cold hurt a little and I had to layer up but the view before me hadn't changed that much In life it's the same, storms bring cold air We have to layer up not with clothes but with prayer No matter the season life is beautiful still No matter the hurt or pain we might feel We should always lean on Jesus he is our shelter from the storm And remember his love for us will always keep up warm So when clouds roll in and you find yourself in fear Layer up and know that HE is near. - Crystal Sacco 4/26/15 Written after spending a weekend at my in laws cabin in Colorado.

These are a few of my favorite things My hair in the wind Being pushed in a swing A warm cozy blanket on a snow covered night Leaning over to give kisses goodnight A letter in the mail from someone I love A gentle touch Or a great big hug A song that is heard At just the right time A memory held dear Deep in my mind The words "I love you" When life seems rough Looking in their eyes And knowing that's enough. The little things matter so much to me They give me such joy And make my heart sing I'll cherish these things Always and forever For when I am feeling down The little things I'll remember. 1/14/15 crystal dawn

The little things

These are a few of my favorite things My hair in the wind Being pushed in a swing A warm cozy blanket on a snow covered night Leaning over to give kisses goodnight A letter in the mail from someone I love A gentle touch Or a great big hug A song that is heard At just the right time A memory held dear Deep in my mind The words "I love you" When life seems rough Looking in their eyes And knowing that's enough. The little things matter so much to me They give me such joy And make my heart sing I'll cherish these things Always and forever For when I am feeling down The little things I'll remember. 1/14/15 crystal dawn

The stars are out this morning and what glory they proclaim of Jesus Christ our savior. So much peace in that name. There's a chill in the air I hear leaves blowing around and just like the stars there is praise with every little sound. The stars will soon hide and the sun will shine, but forever the earth will praise Him until the end of time. 10/22/14 Crystal Dawn

Endless Praise

The stars are out this morning and what glory they proclaim of Jesus Christ our savior. So much peace in that name. There's a chill in the air I hear leaves blowing around and just like the stars there is praise with every little sound.

A little red fire truck Given to a boy Who knew that little fire truck Would bring so much joy? He plays and pretends To be putting out flames All the kids on the street Want to know his name He loves his little fire truck He hates to put it away But mother says he has to Tommorow is another day A little red fire truck Sits untouched Over the years It's collected some dust The boy now is grown Going through some old stuff And at the bottom of a old box He finds a small truck He remembers the fun he had Playing in the floor And can't recall the last time He wanted anything more He sits for a moment Replaying all the memories And smiling to himself says ",You know, life's about the little things".

A boy sits alone Waiting for a friend Someone he can play with Someone to hold his hand. A girl in the hall Rushes to get to class But no one notices As she pushes past. A man stands All alone on the street Hoping someone will come along And give him food to eat. A woman sits on her bed Aging each day Wondering why her children Are so far away. There are so many lives That are left untouched Because we think what we are doing is "good enough". It's time we reach out To the people in need It's time that we became His hands and feet. Jesus called us to love The broken and afraid So what will your choice be? Will you love or walk away?

I often think of the places I've stayed The reasons I was there And the memories that were made. I remember mi mi s house, I visited every week And though it smelled of smoke I never wanted to leave. I remember the movies we watched All the time I remember the joy That filled her heart and mine. I also recall other memories Made in a house just off college street. In the summer we would go And try to beat the heat Nanny always had ice cream And good watermelon to eat. In these houses I learned so much Just watching my grandmothers As I grew up. We laughed we played, We watched TV And sometimes we were just Plain silly. Oh how I wish to these places I could go If I could just see their faces and just say hello.

A girl and her Daddy Run and play Not a worry in the world About the next day. A girl and her Daddy Are sitting in a boat Daddy To catch a fish Is their hope. A girl and her Daddy Playing in the floor Daddy is tired But she wants more. A girl and her Daddy Fuss at times She wants to go out He says, "it's not time." A girl and her Daddy Talk about life How fun it can be And how hard at times. A girl and her Daddy Dance to their song They celebrate a love That is life long. A girl and her Daddy Say Goodbye They know it's not forever But still they cry. A girl and her Daddy Write letters back and forth One from the south One from up north. A girl misses her Daddy And wants to hug his neck But knows she'll have to wait Until the next trek. But, A girl and her Daddy Will never fall apart Because a girl and her Daddy Are in each others hearts. CDS June 2014 I love you Daddy

I sit here thinking of time that has passed things that have changed and the friends I have had. Some friendships lasted many memories were made some only faded though I wish they had stayed. You find out what friendship means to some is it reasured in their heart or does it set with the sun? true friends love you no matter your circumstance they are always there no matter their plans. I've learned so much throughout the years how some friendships last and some only bring tears. but I have a true friend I know I do because I know no matter where I go ill always have you.
